Well, I was wondering why it worked on the command line, but not in the script. But actually: I read the error message incorrectly. Sorry. :-( > [root@spancro /]# which libx264 That's not a binary, so "which" won't find it. (Nevermind, you gave enough info by listing your files.) > [root@spancro ~]# ffmpeg -encoders I seriously hope you're not running your conversion as root! > V..... libx264 libx264 H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part > 10 (codec h264) That's fine. This is what I missed to interpret correctly: > [NULL @ 0x3ca53a0] Unable to find a suitable output format for 'libx264' > libx264: Invalid argument It means ffmpeg sees "libx264" in your command line as an output "file"/URI. Unfortunately, we can't read the complete command line from this: > ffmpeg_pids.append(subprocess32.Popen([args['ffmpeg_path'], '-re', > '-i', args['content_dir']+'/'+args['channel_dir']+"/"+dharmavahini, > '-acodec', 'libfdk_aac', '-b:a 128k', '-vcodec', 'libx264', '-b:v > 1500k', '-minrate 1500k -maxrate 1500k -bufsize 1500k', '-f', 'flv', > '-metadata', 'streamName=xlarge', 'rtmp://site'])) (BTW, you merge some arguments, and some not. Even if it works, that's inconsistent.) We need to see the proper *actual* command line used (minus your hidden output URL). You can add "-loglevel debug", that will (among others) display ffmpeg's option parsing. But the easiest way is to add the option "-report" to the command line, and then grab the resulting file "ffmpeg-20170724-162640.log" (or similar) and show us the top where it says: Command line: ffmpeg -report [...] ffmpeg version N-86781-gd8f1982 Copyright (c) 2000-2017 the FFmpeg developers That should give us an indication of what ffmpeg is interpreting.
